I have tried to make a custom DLL and check the function with a test program(both attached with this).DLL and test program assembled correctly.But when running the program windows gives a error.(screen shot is also attached.please see-> error.png).

but when WriteNumbrDLL proc in DLL has 'invoke MessageBox,....' , the program runs without error. Shocked

Hope someone can help. Sad

source of the DLL file

Code:

format PE GUI 4.0  DLL
entry startDLL

I notice your numbToStr function only uses "ret 4" but you push 2 parameters on the stack.

You can use the "proc" macro to help you here. Define numbToStr using proc stdcall with the input parameters, then you can use the ret macro to automatically restore everything.

Some PE loaders, including the one used by the current Windows versions (based on NT kernel), do not accept empty sections. Your '.reloc' section ends up empty when there are no fixups to generate. Your code is mostly position-independent (because you only address local variables through addresses relative to EBP) and only after you add that MessageBox line you are adding an use of an absolute address (the address of string in the data section), which requires a relocation entry.

You could avoid this error by not making a separate (and potentially empty) section for fixups and just placing them in some other section with DATA directive. However, it should be noted that this might create problems with some other PE loaders, like in Win9x, which may still frown upon empty fixups table.

For this reason the recommended idiom to ensure that fasm always generates some non-zero-length data for fixups looks like this:

Code:

section '.reloc' fixups data readable discardable

  if $=$$
    dd 0,8              ; if there are no fixups, generate dummy entry
  end if

This snippet is present in EXAMPLES\WIN64\DLL\WRITEMSG.ASM (because in 64-bit world it is much more common to have a completely position-independent code that does not require relocation entries), but it is not in EXAMPLES\DLL\ERRORMSG.ASM. Perhaps I should correct that, because - as demonstrated here - having a 32-bit DLL without fixups is not completely out of ordinary.

On a side note, while I was writing my PE tutorial, I did a bit more research, and I discovered that implementation of PE loader in Win32s was accepting both empty sections and empty fixup data.

Thank you very much Tomasz Grysztar for your kind reply and the links. I changed the code according to your example and it resolved the problem.

Also thank you very much revolution for your kind reply and the suggestions.
